PLYMOUTH RAIDERS are the first hurdle for Guildford Heat to overcome as they bid to finish off the season with a trophy.

They ended the BBL Championship campaign in fourth place, beating Worthing Thunder 93-78 on Saturday and losing to Newcastle Eagles 100-96 on Sunday, and now must prepare to host the fifth-placed Devon side at Spectrum on Sunday afternoon.

Having home advantage should give Heat a big advantage for the play-off quarter-final and at least the teams will be familiar with each other, having already met eight times this season.

Heat are running a kids-for-free offer - two children for every paying adult - to encourage youngsters and families along. Details are available from the box office.

Charles Smith's 30 points proved crucial for Eagles on Sunday, outscoring Heat's Mike Martin by four, which proved to be the winning margin.

The Guildford skipper's 20 points and 10 rebounds had been instrumental in the earlier victory over Worthing which guaranteed his side their quarter-final berth.
